Ton Up!
Make no mistake, I do realise that this is a very small milestone in blogging terms (some people get to 100 in less than a month) - I am still pleased as I have learned a hell of a lot in the 4-5 months that I have been an official blogger:
- Blogging is incredibly hard work. I had read a lot about blogging before I started on this journey and I heard a lot about how difficult and time intensive blogging can be and I tried hard not to underestimate this. I still did. It’s a tough gig but it is a very rewarding one too.
- All bloggers are lovely*. I had feared that the blogosphere was going to be a very tightly knit community that would be difficult to be heard amongst - it is completely the opposite. There are so many warm people out there who are all going well out of their way to help and support each other and just to connect.
- No matter how much you think you know, there is more that you don’t know - the learning never ends!
- Although this blog is connected to a commercial site (here) - the communication and conversation that blogging gives has provided me with the most enriching experience in my career to date. Every business should be blogging - listening to your peers and talking to your audience should be your number one priority.
- I have learned about some fantastic blogs that everyone should be reading:
I really hope that everyone has enjoyed the first 100 posts, next milestone is 1000!
Have a great day everyone, keep on readin’ and keep on bloggin’

* when I say all I mean real bloggers - not spam blogs such as pharma, pills, viagra, p*rn etc - the sooner all of the search engines ban these guys the better…

Hi Ross
Congratulations on your 100th post! I really enjoy reading what you have to say. Not only are you helpful but you are ALSO quite lovely
and again I want to thank you for adding me to your list.
I also want to thank you for providing me with your choice pick of blogs. I intend to go visit them just as soon as I possibly can. I agree with you that this whole blogging thing IS a marvelous experience since you get and receive so very much from it all.
Gotta go hitch up the oxen again…got a lot more cyberfriends to visit today.
Waving buh-bye to you
